We humbly apologize to Mr. and Mrs. Ned Kost for having failed to mention the arrival at their home some days ago of a sweet little baby boy, the first child of this young couple. Fact is we did not hear of the interesting event until so long after it happened that it would have been stale news when we finally did hear of it. The fault is not altogether ours, however, as we have not time to follow the doctor around to every confinement case, and almost everyone knows where we’re located.

Doctors Croft and Horsley have announced their plans this week for building an addition to their hospital to provide for new X-ray equipment and to furnish room for eight new patient beds. The hospital has been crowded for some time, so the doctors decided to build an addition. Construction is expected to start soon.

Fen Richardson received a 50-year pin from Worshipful Grand Master Harry E. Wimer Feb. 12 during the official visit of the Grand Master. The Grand Master noted that Mr. Richardson was the first Mason to be initiated by Lovell Lodge No. 36 while it was operating under dispensation by the Grand Lodge of Wyoming in 1919. He thus became a charter member of Lovell Lodge No. 36 when it received its charter in 1920 and has held continuous membership in the lodge for more than half a century.
